Raiders NFL draft predictions for Day 2 feature quarterback, cornerback selections

The Las Vegas Raiders are now on to Day 2 of the NFL draft after taking Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick on Thursday night.

It's hard to predict where the Raiders will go from here, as the team has so many needs on both sides of the ball. Las Vegas has two picks on Day 2, so they could address both units with one pick each.

The Raiders will first be on the clock at No. 37 overall, where they're in position to grab one of the two best remaining quarterbacks in Alabama's Jalen Milroe or  Colorado's Shedeur Sanders.

From there, the Raiders will be on the clock again at pick No. 68, which could be yet another sweet spot for a quarterback if Las Vegas wants one. The Raiders also have dire needs at cornerback and wide receiver.

In a tour of Day 2 mock drafts, experts have the Raiders addressing all three of the positions we just mentioned, along with a few others. Here's what experts are projecting for the Raiders on Friday night.

Raiders NFL draft predictions for Day 2

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News

Round 2, Pick 37 - WR Jack Bech, TCU: "The Raiders, after getting Ashton Jeanty for the backfield, should also invest in an extra offensive playmaker for Geno Smith to help replace Davante Adams. Bech is the ideal outside fit to complement Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers."

Round 3, Pick 68 - DT Vernon Broughton, Texas: "The Raiders splurged for Christian Wilkins in free agency but are weak at the other tackle. Broughton's size and power can give them some extra inside pass rush in the rotation."

Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports

Round 2, Pick 37 - QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado: "Super-cozy landing spot for Sanders, with Tom Brady's team, learning behind Geno Smith for a season or two in Las Vegas."

Round 3, Pick 68: OL Marcus Mbow, Purdue

Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic

Round 2, Pick 37 - CB Will Johnson, Michigan: "Johnson slid out of the first round for a few reasons, including speed and injury concerns. When healthy, though, he’s one of the best defensive players in this class. This could be a steal."

Round 3, Pick 68 - LB Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma

Round 2, Pick 37 - CB Will Johnson, Michigan

Round 3, Pick 68 - LB Jeffery Bassa, Oregon

Matt Miller, ESPN

Round 2, Pick 37 - CB Will Johnson, Michigan: "It feels like the cornerback position was always a need for the Raiders, but it's an even bigger one now that Jack Jones was released. Johnson was my No. 7 overall prospect, but he has knee injury questions that have pushed him down the board."
